#Security Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user trigger the payload in the application.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute RPC procedures that are restricted to privileged accounts, bypassing the access check for the RPC procedures.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute RPC procedures that are restricted to privileged accounts, bypassing the access check for the RPC procedures.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could overwrite arbitrary file content in the security context of the local system.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user trigger the payload in the application.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** An attacker must send the user a malicious file and convince the user to open said file.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of initialized or uninitialized memory in the process heap.

Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors might be helpful in your situation: The Windows message queuing service, which is a Windows component, needs to be enabled for a system to be exploitable by this vulnerability. This feature can be added via the Control Panel. You can check to see if there is a service running named **Message Queuing** and TCP port 1801 is listening on the machine.
